Since its release, theOculus Quest, now under the banner of Meta, has undergone numerous evolutions. One of the most striking features remains the Hand tracking, which allows a Precise hand tracking without the need for joysticks. This technology, initially perceived as an interesting novelty, has since established itself as an essential tool for many professional sectors, including training, maintenance and marketing.
But is this feature still as good as ever? And how can it really benefit your professional projects in 2024? Here is our updated feedback.
Since 2020, hand tracking on the Oculus Quest has received several updates, making hand recognition and tracking even more accurate and responsive. Even the most complex movements are captured with Minimal latency, and tracking losses have become rare thanks to improved recognition algorithms. Current performances surpass those of the first generations, competing with advanced solutions such as Leap Motion, which has long been the reference in hand tracking.
This technology now allows a even deeper immersion in virtual environments, allowing you to manipulate real objects (tools, pens) while staying in the virtual world. This advance is particularly useful in training scenarios, where users can interact naturally with their environment without leaving virtual reality.
To do without controllers in VR is became the norm, and the Oculus Quest hand tracking continues to make more intuitive and natural interactions. The user interface adapts to gestures, simplifying processes and reducing the need for lengthy instructions or tutorials. This improves the user experience and speeds up training programs, while providing a more fluid and natural immersion for users.
However, the absence of haptic feedback remains a challenge. To compensate, the industry has seen the emergence of compatible haptic accessories that add a tactile feel to the experience. In addition, the use of small physical objects that do not mask the hand remains a practical solution to improve the realism of the interaction.
The Oculus Quest, even with its initial limitations as a standalone headset, continues to benefit fromsignificant improvements. Thanks to software and hardware optimizations, the Quest is able to manage increasingly complex environments with improved graphics quality. The adoption of technologies like Google Seurat, which allows high-definition environments to be reproduced on less powerful devices, has greatly expanded the possibilities.
Additionally, with Meta Link and the introduction of Air Link technology, the Quest can connect wirelessly to a powerful PC, allowing users to benefit from graphics by top quality while using the advanced features of hand tracking. This integration between PC power and standalone portability makes the Oculus Quest an extremely versatile tool for professionals.
In 2024, hand tracking on the Oculus Quest is more efficient and reliable than ever. This feature offers exciting opportunities for the training, maintenance, marketing, and beyond industries. The constant evolution of this technology and its integration into an increasingly sophisticated ecosystem make the Oculus Quest essential for professionals seeking to exploit the immersive capabilities of virtual reality.
